Read
the following passage carefully and answer questions from 5 to 10:

It should be remembered that the nationalist movement
in India, like all nationalist movements, was essentially a bourgeois movement.
It represented the natural historical stage of development, and to consider it
or to criticise it as a working-class movement is wrong. Gandhi represented
that movement and the Indian masses in relation to that movement to a supreme
degree, and he became the voice of Indian people to that extent. The main contribution
of Gandhi to India and the Indian masses has been through the powerful movements
which he launched through the National Congress. Through nation-wide action he
sought to mould the millions, and largely succeeded in doing so, and changing
them from a demoralised, timid and hopeless mass, bullied and crushed by every
dominant interest, and incapable of resistance, into a people with self-respect
and self-reliance, resisting tyranny, and capable of united action and
sacrifice for a larger cause.

Gandhi made people think of political and economic
issues and every village and every bazaar hummed with argument and debate on
the new ideas and hopes that filled the people. That was an amazing
psychological change. The time was ripe for it, of course, and

circumstances and world conditions worked for this
change. But a great leader is necessary to take advantage of circumstances and
conditions. Gandhi was that leader, and he released

many of the bonds that imprisoned and disabled our
minds, and none of us who experienced it can ever forget that great feeling of
release and exhilaration that came over the Indian people.

Gandhi has played a revolutionary role in India of the
greatest importance because he knew how to make the most of the objective
conditions and could reach the heart of the masses, while groups with a more
advanced ideology functioned largely in the air because they did not fit in
with those conditions and could therefore not evoke any substantial response
from the masses.

It is perfectly true that Gandhi, functioning in the
nationalist plane, does not think in terms of the conflict of classes, and
tries to compose their differences. But the action he has indulged and taught
the people has inevitably raised mass consciousness tremendously and made
social issues vital. Gandhi and the Congress must be judged by the policies
they pursue and the action they indulge in. But behind this, personality counts
and colours those policies and activities. In the case of very exceptional
person like Gandhi the question of personality becomes especially important in
order to understand and appraise him. To us he has represented the spirit and
honour of India, the yearning of her sorrowing millions to be rid of their
innumerable burdens, and an insult to him by the British Government or others
has been an insult to India and her people.
